About the course
The Performance as Public Practice Program offers three degree programs: M.A., M.F.A. and Ph.D. Students with only an undergraduate degree must apply to either the M.A. or the M.F.A. degree program, an M.A. or M.F.A. is required for admission directly to the Ph.D. Students who finish the M.A. or the M.F.A. program may apply to continue on to the Ph.D. program, decided on a case-by-case basis. All students in our program take specific core courses, but emphasis is placed on interdisciplinarity by requiring a variety of elective courses within and outside our department and at least one practice-focused course. Students determine their own research foci and goals in collaboration with their advisor and the faculty.
The M.A. is generally considered a preparatory degree. The two-year program prepares you to move on to a Ph.D. degree program or for certain kinds of professional, artistic, organizational and academic work in the field. The M.A. degree requires 36 credit hours and culminates in a significant, written thesis project. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
